Patent GB-2553504-A (GB)
Title: A machine comprising a body and an implement movable relative to the body
Inventor: PATRICK CURRAN
IPC: F15B1/02
Filed: 2016-08-26
Abstract: A method for controlling a machine, such as a wheel loader, with a body and a movable arm. Hydraulic actuators 150 move the arm and a hydraulic accumulator 310 dampens its movement. An accumulator valve 320 fluidly couples the hydraulic accumulator 310 to the hydraulic actuators 150 and a sensor determines arm position. The machine has an undamped mode of operation where the accumulator valve 320 is in a closed position, a damped mode of operation where the accumulator valve 320 is at least partially open and a transition mode between the undamped and damped mode. To control the machine, a sensor signal is used as a reference value, the accumulator valve 320 is opened so hydraulic fluid flows from the hydraulic actuators 150 to the hydraulic accumulator 310 to dampen arm movement, after a delay, a new sensor value is obtained and used as a damped value, and the hydraulic actuators 150 moves the arm until its position matches the reference value.

Title: Method and apparatus for detecting deviation from a motion pattern in a video
Inventor: JOHN MADSEN
IPC: H04N7/18
Filed: 2017-12-19
Abstract: Detecting motion deviation from a motion pattern in a video sequence by comparing an element indicating the size of a segment 151 with a threshold value which may be from a motion pattern model. A current motion grid (130, fig 1A & 140, fig 1B) is generated having a plurality of elements (122, 132 fig 1A, 142 Fig 1B), where each element stores an indication of whether there is a change between corresponding elements of at least two images (100 & 110, fig 1A) captured from the video. The current motion grid is searched to identify the segment comprising a plurality of neighbouring elements. A current motion pattern grid 150 is generated by storing in each element of the segment a value corresponding to the size of the segment. The segment size value in an element of the current motion grid is compared with the threshold value, and based on the comparison it is determined whether there is deviation from the motion pattern. The threshold value may be in an element of a motion pattern model grid that corresponds to the compared element of the current motion grid.

Abstract: A method of processing image data comprises obtaining 50 image data representative of pixel intensities associated with an image and, irrespective of a respective magnitude of the pixel intensities, processing 52 the image with a logarithmic transformation to transform the pixel intensities to transformed pixel intensities, thereby generating transformed image data.

Title: System and method for constructing synaptic weights for artificial neural networks from signed analog conductance-pairs of varying significance
Inventor: Geoffrey Burr
IPC: G06N3/08
Filed: 2018-06-27
Abstract: Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are a distributed computing model in which computation is accomplished with many simple processing units, called neurons, with data embodied by the connections between neurons, called synapses and by the strength of these connections, the synaptic weights. An attractive implementation of ANNs uses the conductance of non-volatile memory (NVM) elements to record the synaptic weight, with the important multiply—accumulate step performed in place, at the data. In this application, the non-idealities in the response of the NVM such as nonlinearity, saturation, stochasticity and asymmetry in response to programming pulses lead to reduced network performance compared to an ideal network implementation. A method is shown that improves performance by distributing the synaptic weight across multiple conductances of varying significance, implementing carry operations between less-significant signed analog conductance-pairs to more-significant analog conductance-pairs.
